On Saturday (25th November), the London Perl Workshop (LPW) was held at the University of Westminster. It was a free-to-attend one-day conference that three tracks of talks and one of tutorials. It was also the first in the post-Mark Keating age. This is the report of this year's organising team: Katherine, Lee, Neil, Pete, and Rick.
In brief, the talks went down well and everyone seemed to enjoy themself. Read on for more!
We're excited, and relieved, to have published the talk schedule for the London Perl Workshop.
Update: A one-page printable version of the schedule is available now.
Moar Update: Matt Trout is ill and won't be there; JJ Allen has stepped in with a talk on GDPR, and I'll give a talk on the PAUSE Operating Model.
Read on for an outline of the schedule, and a summary of the talks and tutorials!

One of the strengths of both Perl -- and our talk schedule -- is a diversity of ideas. We see this in the rich depth of Perl libraries on the CPAN, in the large variety of places Perl is deployed, and in the many ways people use Perl to make their lives easier.

One of the major strengths of Perl is the strong focus on automated testing and the pervasiveness of software testing tools on the CPAN. As you'd expect, London Perl Workshop on the 25th of November will have talks on testing!

Fast, often loud, and the finale of the London Perl Workshop, lightning talks share a lot in common with the fireworks lighting up our skies this weekend.
The response to the call for longer talk submissions has already been amazing, so we’re not going to be able to squeeze in any unscheduled talks this year, but if you didn't submit a full talk proposal in time, you can still participate with a lightning talk!
So, if you have a proposal just waiting to explode (see what I did there? ;) submit it on or before this coming Monday, the 6th November at londonperlworkshop.org/newtalk. And, see our previous post for hints and tips on how to make your 5 minute lightning talk go with a bang!
